Painting the outside wood on the house. Have got to everything except the two areas in the pictures below. The ladder I've got is on it's limit, it's getting a bit wobbly to paint the high stuff on pic 1.

Any clues on how I get up so high in pic1 to paint the fascia, and into the awkward space on pic 2?

pic 1, fascia too high and porch is awkward, can't get over it to paint left side

pic 2, dormer room in sloping roof is difficult to get to. Someone suggested short ladder from flat roof over front door resting on pillows on sloping roof, crawl up ladder to access dormer. Any thoughts?

How about a Decorators Telescopic adjustable painters pole some come with angled fixings as well as straight , not as if anyone will see the result close up.

Either that or a Scaffold Lift, (or Sky Hook )

If you use one dont forget to put Sheeting on extension roof to stop paint drops.

Can you remove the windows of the Dormer then reach out to paint fascia, the Windows could be painted inside
